ELECTION day is the only time one hears of some Congressmen. CITY JOBS are mighty handy when you want to control an organization. A NORTH DAKOTA man has a seventeen-foot beard. A clean shirt must last him a month. ISN’T it strange how eome people fail to discover double-crossing has been going on until they are beaten. IF THE Chinese are looking for publicity they should not have started a war on the eve of a primary. WITH TWO State conventions in the offing and a fail campaign coming Hoosiers will get little rest this year. JUDGING from the meager returns safe crackers have been receiving, Indianapolis business concerns are depositing their money In the banks. IF HAROLD F. M’CORMICK'S family would keep their mouths closed as tightly as they are closing their door the public would not take such an interest in their matrimonial affairs. Beveridge's Independence Albert J. Beveridge’s declaration that he will observe the principles of the Republican party even if he does not always abide by its policies •will not tend to make him any more palatable to the Old Guard politi clans who suffered such a severe setback when they went down to defeat with their favorite, Senator Harry S. New, last Tuesday. In fact, this statement, the first issued since his victory, Indicates that Mr. Beveridge Is going to act pretty much as he pleases and it was a fair warning that he will nc submit to dictation from the reactionaries unless he can reconcile their views with his own. Os course this assertion of independence was issued in the first flush of victory and it may he modified, or even forgotten, in the exigencies of a campaign in which Mr. Beveridge will want to rally all of the discordant elements of his party to his standard. Mr. Beveridge’s assertions indicate that he already has made up his mind as to the sort of platform he desires, which is rather an innovation in political circles, especially Republican, where it has been customary to construct platforms from planks drafted by leaders in State conventions. This exhibition of a tendency to break from the conventional restraint that has always hampered Republican candidates in Indiana is somewhat similar to the Beveridge who in 1912 plunged into the Progressive fold and did much to wreck the Old Guard. Mr. Beveridge conducted the campaign on as reactionary a platform as that used by his opponent, but now that he is in a commanding position his disposition to apply the screws to his time-honored and implacable foes may have an interesting development upon the frantic endeavors of certain elements to restore hoT mony to a disintegrated political machine.

The President Rebuked Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee yesterday refused to join with President Harding in committing a grave political error when they rescinded a favorable report on the nomination of Nat Goldstein for collector of internal revenue in St. Louis. Their action, also, was a direct slap in the face of the President, who was so anxious to reward this worthy. Goldstein, probably more than any other one man, was responsible for the fact that Frank O. Lowden was not nominated at Chicago instead of Warren G. Harding. It was his testimony before a Senate investigating committee on June 2, 1920, that he and Robert E. Moore of St. Ixmis had accepted $2,500 each fiom Jacob Babler, national committeeman from Missouri, to influence Ixywden delegates, that cost Mr. Lowden his favorable lead in the presidential race. Mr. Lowden was shown not to have been connected with the affair, but prominent leaders were fearful of the effect the expose would have on the people and turned from him to Mr. Harding. Ever since then Goldstein has been an object of scorn for having participated in such a deal. Now he turns up as the President's choice for a very important Federal position and the Senate committee very properly rebuked the White House for its ambition to recognize a man whose political activities had been sadly tarnished. Wiggins Goes to Prison Governor McCray’s action in upholding the finding of the State board of pardons that Charles F. (Chuck) Wiggins, local prize fighter, must serve a six months' sentence on the Penal Farm, will end a great deal of criticism that has been directed at the chief executive ever since he granted a sixty-day reprieve to the boxer in order that he might fill important fighting engagements. The'Governor acted in this case in accordance with his policy, announced when he reorganized the pardon system, that he would always follow- their recommendations. Wiggins was convicted on Jan. 13, 1921, in the Marion County Criminal Court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a young girl. He promptly appealed to the Supreme Court, but the judgment of the lower court was upheld. Just when Wiggins saw the gates of the Penal Farm yawning for him the Governor granted him a reprieve, thereby opening himself to much adverse comment. Wiggins and his friends have maintained that he was not guilty of the offense, but the Criminal Court and the Supreme Court have held otherwise and the pardon board, after carefully reviewing the facts in the case, recommends that he should be punished. Hyphenates Disillusiotied George Sylvester Viereck, editor of the American Monthly, formerly the notorious Fatherland, and Dr. Edmund Von Mach— -that precious pair who have found so much to laud in imperial Germany—have made the belated discovery that President Harding is evincing no disposition to destroy the results of the war, nor manifesting an ambition to alleviate the burdens of the Fatherland. Dr. Von Mach, in the current issue of the monthly, confesses disillusionment, and as this specious pamphlet has set itself up as the spokesman for those who have entertained a predeliction for the German cause, it may be taken as the voice of those voters who supported President*Harding in order to protest against the Administration which had waged war against the country of their choice. “Mr. Harding s picture is as yet tndoflned.” writes Von Mach, “but he is certainly, in the general appreciation, no second McKinley. Barring the uncouth word Normalcy none of his sayings have stuck tu the popular mind. Those who have met him personally feel kindly toward him ; they like his graciousness and his ready, very human smile. Those who have not met him personally, are forced .to draw their impressions from his acts and bis speeches.’’ After charging that the President has never yet "dared publicly to say what he thinks,” Von Mach reveals the true reason why President Harding Is losing prestige with the so-called German-Americans as did former President Wilson. "No amount of rhetoric can make a glorious achievement of the limitation of arms conference, and Mr. Fes misjudges the intelligence of the American people when he speaks in the Hughes style of ipse dixit.” he declares. “All he says would be as applicable to the League of Nations as the four power treaty. Generalities and nothing but generalities. The American people did not sweep Wilson from power for the sake of a play on words, or for the benefit of the Republican party versus the Democratic party. They wanted to write finis under the chapter of European political entanglement begun by that 'greatest Englishman,’ T. Wood rot • Wilson.” i All of which goes to show that it Is becoming increasingly difficult, and fortunately so, to conduct successfully foreign propaganda in America.

The White Desert □ □□□ a a □ a a By Courtney Ry ley Cooper

Fat had seen fit to mold the life of BARRY HOUSTON into tragic molds. Tried for the murder of his cousin,. TOM LANGDON, and acquitted because of favorable testimony of AGNES JIERDON, Houston's father dies without regaining faith in his son. He leaves Barry timber holdings in Tabernacle only on condition that a high output be maintained. Mysterious accidents in the mill have prevented this and Houston , arriving from Boston, finds that he has been betrayed by his mill superintendent, FRED THAYER. Houston discharges Thayer. First the mill is burned down and then Houston is deprived, by a forged lease, of the rights to his timber lands. With the aid of BA'TISTE RENAT I). an eccentric French-Canadian. whose life has been saddened by the double tragedy of his son's death in France and the unsolved murder of his wife. Houston continues the fight. During his stay in Tabernacle. Houston has been attracted by MEDAINE ROBINETTE, owner of, neighboring timber lands. He tells her that Thayer's statement that he was accused of murder is true. CHAPTER X—Continued. A slight gasp traveled over the lips of Medaine. evill by the window. Ba’tiste, his features old and lined, reached out with one big hand and patted the man on the shoulder. Then for a long ttme, there was silence. "Eet is the He, eh?” “Ba tiste." Houston turned appealingly to him. “as I live, that’s all 1 know. I never saw Langdon after he took that mallet from me. Only one shred of evidence was presented in my behalf. It was by a woman who had worked for about six months for my father —Miss Jlerdon. She testified to having passed in a taxicab just at the end of our quarrel, and that Langdon had the mallet." “Miss Jlerdon is the same one who is out here?" "Yes." . "She testified in your behalf?" | "Yes. And Miss Robinette, if you'll : only talk to her-if you'll only ask her about it. she'll tell you the story exactly as I've told it.

ness. I may not be able to convince you —but she cotild, Miss Robinette. If you'll only—” "Would you guarantee the truth of anything she should tell me?” “Absolutely.” “I’m—l'm sorry.” She turned again to the window. Houston went forward. “Sorry? Why? There's nothing—” “Miss Jlerdon has told me," came In a strained voice, “that she did pass as you were struggling. That she saw the blow struck—and that it was you who struck It.” “Miss Robinette!" “That further, you confessed to her and told her why you had killed Langdon—because he had discovered something in your own father's life that would serve ns blackmail. That she loved you. And that because she loved you, she went on the stand and perjured herself to save you from a conviction of murder—when she knew in her heart that you were guilty!” CHAPTER XL It was a blow greater, far greater than one that could have been struck in mere .physical contact. Houston reeled with tile effect of it: he gasped, he struggled aimlessly, futlley, for words to answer it. Vaguely, dizzily. Houston started to the door, only to be pulled back In the gigantic grip of Ba'tlste Renaud. "No! N'o! You shall not go! You tell Medaine that Is a lie!” “It Is,” Houston heard his voice as though coming from far away, “but I don’t know bow to answer it. Where is Miss Jlerdon?” "Miss Jierdon," Medaine Robinette answered with an effort, "went back to camp last night.” They drove on In silence. Ten minutes later, Houston leaped from the buggy and knocked at the door of the cottage. "I want to see Miss Jlerdon," he told the rook who had opened the door. The rook bustled bark into the house, to return with a sealed envelope ad dressed to Houston. “Dearest Barry: "Hate awfully to run away like (his without seeing you, but It can't be helped. Have an offer of a position in St. Louis that I can't very well refuse. Will write you from there “Love and kisses. “AGNES.” Ba'tlste slapped the reins on the horse's back. "She is like the Judas, eh?” he asked quietly, as they went back to the cottage. Ba'tiste soon went forth into the night. Later came a scratch on the door It was Polentar, followed a moment later by a grinning, twinkling eyed Ba'tlste. w “Bon! Good!” he exclaimeu. “Now—alert, raoa ami! The pencil and the paper r He slumped Into a chair and dived info a pocket of his red shirt, to bring forth n mass of scribbled sheets, to stare at them, striving studiously to make out the writing. "Eet Is the copy of the bid!” "The copy? The Idd?” "From the Blackburn mill. There 1* no one aroun.' Ba'teese, he go through a window. M sieu Houston, he too will bid But he will make It lower.” "But what with. Ba’tiste? We haven't a mill to saw the stuff. In the first place. This thing we're setting up now couldn't even begin to turn out the ties alone." "Ah. oul ! But (he man who Is drown ing. he will, what you say, grab at * haystack. ' And together they settled to the making of a bid that ran Into the millions, an overture for a contract for which they had neither mill, nor timber, nor flume, nor resources to complete! CHAPTER XIL Time dragged after that. Once the 'bid was on Its way to Chicago, there was nothing to do tint wait. December came. February and then—"Eet is come! Eet is come! Ba tiste, waving his arms wildly, in spite of the stuffucss of his heavy mackinaw. “Eet Is come! ! have open eet —I can not | wait. Eet say we shall have the contract!

"Bu’teese, he have the friend In Denver who will make the bond.” “But how about the machinery; we’ll : need a hundred-thousand dollar plant be- ' fore we’re through, Ba'tiste.” “Ah'" The old French-Canadlan's jaw dropped. "Ba'teese have not think ■ of that." “Tomorrow morning we take the train to Denver, and from there I’ll go on to Boston. I’ll raise the money some way.” i They went out to Denver, there to seek ; out the few friends Ba’tiste possessed, ; to argue one of them Into a loan of ten thousand dollars on the land and trust worthy qualities which formed the total of Ba’tiste’s resources, to gain from the other the necessary bond to cover the

Our First Year Chapter XXXV—Hills and Bu dget BY A BRIBE.

Pm tired of trying to live by that old budget 1 guess we didn’ t make it out properly. Anyway, 1 seem to have some necessary expenses with no fund to draw on. For instance, when I make candy to give to the girls starting off on their summer travels, some of the cost is for sugar and belongs in my food bill, but wiiat am I to do with the price of the lovely boxes I pack the candy in? When Mrs. Ilerrod went away, for Jack's sake I made her a wonderful gift. I packed some marvelous candied fruits in an elegant box ; it cost me $4.85! Fortunately, I had it charged, so I can take my time to decide whirs it ought to tie credited in my accounts, nr Is it debited? Not yet have I had the heart to show my bills to Jack, and the pile grows higher the first and fifteenth of every month. The dear boy has Just finished paying for the over-stuffed pieces. I asked him whom he had Insured to get a percentage big enough to pay that bill. And then he owned up that he had had to draw on his savings account! He told me so sweetly, didn't seem to be sorry, although 1 know he hated to disturb his savings. He said once more that he ought (o be earning double his present salary; of course, I must have things like other people, and its up to him to provide them. 1 did my best to comfort him: told him not to worry even If some of his friends are already in the five figure class, with no bettor start than h* had. i made him laugh by saying Vd be content with a “two-hander” car this summer instead of anew one. And because I do want a little car so very much, I have decided to let the Dills remain in my desk a while longer A small car will not cost much more than my furniture, and if Jack managed that, I guess he can manage the car somehow. His credit Is so good, any merchant in town will trust l(im for anything. So I should worry t Tilings usually turrf out for the best with me. Only this afternoon I seem to have discovered a way to get rid of those miserable hills without ever letting .Tack know about them.

But if he does, if he interferes with her. she’ll do something else equally scandalous, like eloping with the chauffeur. He says he can see that she’s hound to elope with somebody, and he’d far rather it would be the chauffeur than, Bradshaw, but neither is the man he’d pick.

Radio Tubes Differ in Vacuum BY R. L. DUNCAN, Director Radio Institute of America. Why is it that some tubes are called detector tubes and some amplifying tubes and that the plate of the amplifier must have more “B” battery voltage than ths the detector, although both seemj to be alike? Both tubes are constructed of the sam* quality of materials. Their chief -difference lies in their vacuum. A detector tube has a small amount of gas left inside, while the amplifier la highly vacuumed—all oxygen and other gases being withdrawn. It is this difference of vacuity that makes one tube a detector and the other an amplifier. A detector tube is known as a “soft” tube and the amplifier as "hard.” Frequently an amplifier becomes soft, after consistent use. Don’t throw it awav It may be used satisfactorily as a detector. TRANSFORMERS. There are two classes of transformers used in radio reception—one in audiofrequency and the other in one or twostep amplification. Both have primary and secondary windings with an open or closed iron core. These transformers are used in circuits where long receiving distance is desired. They are also efficient on an indoor loop antenna. While it is possible for a skilled mechanic with a proper machine shop at his disposal to make these transformers, it will be found much cheaper to purs chase them. The ratio of the windings ranges from to 1 to 6 to 1 — that is, an audio frequency transformer with a secondary of 27.500 turns of wire has a primary of 5.500 t u rns. Another make of transformer has 12.000 turns in the secondary and 3,900 in the primary. The number of turns depends or the size of wire, which generally runs from No. 32 to No. 34—t00 fine for the average individual to use in experiment* lng. '

Sweet daughter of a rough and stormy sire, Hoar Winter’s blooming child, delightful Spring! Whose unshorn locks with leaves And swelling buds are crowned. Sweet Is thy reign, but short—the rod dog star Shall scotch thy tresses, and the mower’s scythe Thy green, thy flowerets all, Remorseless shall destroy. —Anna L. Barbauld.
